Chapter 18: Rolling the Dice

Frank arranged to meet up with Tessa for a Primatier Dungeon on Jossi Island, a newer setting a few kilometers off from the Yarburn coast. She assumed this had come about out of the popularity of Yarburn itself, however, the inhabitant NPCs contained features more similar to Pacific Islanders than any other culture.

Flax and palm trees covered the island. She brushed some of the drooping fronds aside as she made her way off the beach and into the bush. There were no Gateways on the island and the canoe ride she had to take from Yarburn was supposed to be a fun way to explore the ins and outs of the archipelago on the way to Jossi. However, Frank hadn’t had the time as she was already late for her meet up with Tessa.

But why meet on this island? Is it a trap or does she really just want me to try a new dungeon?

She was not sure whether or not she could trust her yet, but she was willing to give her another shot. The dungeon she had suggested going to was an underwater level that tanks were useful for, as they could sink to the bottom and collect all of the Resource Items on the ocean floor. First, they would have to find the ability that would allow them to breathe underwater.

She eventually found a path through the brush. It was a thin walking track that weaved between the trees. It led out to Nakoia Village where many of the NPCs were walking around, the women in long dresses, the men in singlets and shorts or lava-lava with nothing covering their muscular torsos.

Frank could see why Tessa wanted to meet here, and for someone who enjoyed looking at muscular men, she couldn’t blame her, despite her apparent in-game identity. Finally, she found Tessa sitting on the edge of a small bridge that went over the stream which ran through the village. She swung her bare feet back and forth over the clear water.

She looked up as Frank walked over the bridge, her weight bowing the bridge even more. “There you are! I was beginning to think you weren’t going to show up!”

“I didn’t know there wasn’t a Gateway leading here and it took a while to take the canoe.”

And I wasn’t sure if I wanted to come at all.

Tessa looked down at the stream. “I’m sorry about what happened. I had no idea Dice was going to gang up on you or that your orb would get stolen.” She stood up and gave her the most charming smile. “Do you forgive me?”

Frank shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. I managed to get it back anyway.”

Tessa’s smile crumbled and Frank’s suspicion that she knew more than she was letting on grew.

“What? How?” She shook her head, as though trying to recover from a slip of the tongue. “I mean, didn’t you say it was stolen?”

I nodded. “I thought so, too. Anyway, where do we get the breathing
